That Lemond is really nice!

TimothyH 09-08-16 01:15 PM

The LeMond is nice.

Is that a Bart Simpson chia head with it?

Check out the sharp eyes on Timothy! Yep, Chia-Bart was an Xmas present from my niece or nephew back when they were little. He looked like a green blob when he had chia hair growing on him. Chia-Bart has performed admirably over the last 15 years as a terra-cotta doorstop for my gate, and photobomber of my build pics.

^ Funny stuff.

Get me a side view of that Schwann!

(Masi is gorgeous too)

I blush at your kind compliments Magnum PI.

I searched for several years to find that Peloton, then forgot to turn the search-notification off in Ebay, and another one in even better shape came up, so I couldn't not get it.

The width of this 7803 triple chainring played havoc on my knees, so we're back to a double.

And I bought this Peloton frame as a project for a now ex-) girlfriend. Kinda fun having both the largest and smallest frames Schwinn made in my garage next to each other. (I know very well how pathetic I am.)

And the Masi is currently being built up with a NOS Ultegra 6400 group I've been compiling.

That's awesome in my book :thumb:

650c 09-09-16 11:44 AM

Just took this entire thing apart and gave it a good cleaning, greased every bolt before putting it back in, and put new-to-me rolf prima elan wheels on it... first time ever posting a pic of my bike. Hope you guys like. It's a 47cm with 650c wheels.

And yes, it was a triathlon bike, and yes, it is fine as a road bike since it has relaxed seat angle

Aside from the pedals, that's pretty rad.....

thanks!! everyone always mentions the pedals :roflmao2: -- i have black versions too but haven't gotten around to switch them out yet

TimothyH 09-09-16 01:38 PM

It is a sin to post my bike on the same page as the bikes posted by @calamarichris but I'll ride to to the Church tomorrow morning and confess.

New Dura Ace C24 wheels. 1364 grams. Feels noticeably lighter than with the Mavic Ksyrium SL wheels. Can't wait to see how it climbs tomorrow.

Looks kinda plain compared to that Mavic bladed spoke bling though.

But hey, in my entire life of trying different big wheel bikes, this was the only one that felt natural. I couldn't believe it the first time I sat on it -- the struggles of a vertically challenged person is very real when it comes to road bikes.

Okay, now you need one of these, and a ladder. And a friend with a camera. Share the results here.

Don't be silly, she's a Beauty! I love her austere, clean look; and you're going to love those C24s!
They're light as a fart and slicker than owl dung. I'm 190 lbs, so I open up my brake quick releases when climbing, because they flex a little when I stand. And I can also feel them flex when cornering hard on descents (my excessive mass gives me the upper hand on descents), but they have so far always remained true and never any problems.

Oh yeah, forgot to post my Look Equippe (aka Hot-Dog-on-a-Stick Bike) too. Bought it off a nice fellow in the C&V forum and built it up with Dura Ace 7800, and the wonderful C24 wheels. Got rid of the noodly Scott Drop-Ins, and replaced them with the stiffer Nitto/Specialized drop-in bars.

They've got a few other neat vintage kits when you're ready to take your posing to the next level...

Thanks for the nice words and the feedback on the wheels. I'm 195 myself. We shall see tomorrow.

I like the tiled backspash btw. There is a new kitchen in my future and I'm thinking about what I want to do.

That Look is killing me. I don't think I've ever seen an ugly one. That and Time.

Haha--putting the kitch in kitchen.
My (now ex-) girlfriend and Mom ganged-up against every choice I made when I renovated my place and kitchen (she even hired a decorator to come in and insult my choice ("Sssoooo.... you don't care about the resale value of your place at all then...?") , and now I smile every time I walk into my kitchen as it has become a monument to that hard-won victory.

So freakin' dope. I love carbon rims with a lugged fork.
